What CV boot rubbers did you use?

Last time I changed my left outer boot, I bought a Nissan Almera's, (same size).

went into autozone store room and measured till i found a match, think it was for some form of nissan, still have the boxes at the workshop.
will check and let you know

steering rack boots, i used the universal jobs that you cut to get the size you want...

so stripped cam covers for powder coating today

not exactly waht i wanted to see, but i quess it gives me an excuse to forge the motor

cam covers (lotsa thick oil sludge)

cams - coverd in burnt on oil sludge (hate to think what we gonna find in the sump - yes in the sump, pulling motor in the week)

pulled head - no 5 cyl piston shows signs of damage and sleeve has some marks

All of a sudden Im glad I didnt buy the car! However, as you said...awesome excuse to go all out with the motor now!

Good luck....

P.S. Michelle phoned me today and told me she is bringing in a R33 also. Price will be R190 000. FYI
